Grat work!

Omigosh, you really like it? Wow, thank you! Well, first off, yes...this is a shoujo manga (pretty obvious, huh? lol).
The title is just Mia and it's takes place in London where the young girl is living comfortably in a large mansion and she's very wealthy. She's celebrating her 18th birthday. However, this day is when she finds out that her mother and father are not who they are...they are actually her aunt and uncle. Her father was a British duke and he died when Mia was born and her real mother is from New York...apparently, after the father died, she just picked up and left London, going back to New York leaving baby Mia in care of the aunt, Elizabeth. Which is why all these years, Elizabeth pretended to be Mia's mother. Now, Mia will try to find her mother in New York because she may still be alive.
This is a shoujo manga because obviously, there is a theme of love and relationships, but it's also about Mia growing up and experiencing life and the world. Since Mia grew up in a sheltered and wealthy, "prim and proper" enviroment, when she goes to New York, she will stay with three guys who are all carefree and all about "living in the now".
In the page you see here, this is around the 4th page of the beginning. On the first frame on the upper right, Mia has been told to see her "mother". She's wondering what's going on because everyone (all the servants, maids, etc.) are acting very strange. She calls out to her "mother" and Elizabeth says "Mia-chan!". The bottom frame, Elizabeth hugs Mia wishing her a Happy Birthday and Mia asks why everyone is looking so sad and what is happening. The final frame, Elizabeth is hesitating because it's bad news.
